Lyrics New York City Cops The Strokes

Here in the streets of American nights Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life Studied all the rules, and I want no part But I let you in just to break this heart Even though it was only one night It was fucking strange Nina's in the bedroom She says 'Time to go now' But leavin', it ain't easy I've got to let go Oh, I've got to let go And the hours, they ran slow I said, every night, she just can't stop saying 'New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart' Oh, kill me now 'cause I'll let you down I swear one day we're gonna leave this town Stop Yes, I'm leaving 'cause this just won't work Oh, they act like Romans but they dress like Turks Soft time, in your prime See, me, I like the summertime But hey Nina's in the bedroom She says 'Time to go now' Oh, leavin', it ain't easy Oh, I've got to let go I've got to let go Oh, trapped in an apartment She would not let them get her She wrote it in a letter Oh, 'I've got to come clean The authorities, they've seen' Darling, I'm somewhere in between I said, every night, she just can't stop saying 'New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart'
